Role
Who you are
- Track Record in Cybersecurity: Proven background in Incident Response (IR), Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR), or threat intelligence. Experience in conducting forensic investigations and managing IR cases
- Hands-on experience with cybersecurity tools like Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) products (e.g., CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne, Windows Defender for Endpoint). Proficiency in programming/scripting languages to automate response tasks or analyze evidence is a plus
- Excellent communication skills, especially when guiding clients through high-pressure situations
- Analytical Mindset: A natural curiosity to explore root causes and improve processes, alongside the ability to explain complex technical concepts to stakeholders clearly
- Team-First Attitude: Comfort working in diverse and neurodivergent environments with humility and collaboration, willing to take on foundational work, including Security Operations Center (SOC) alert triage and documentation
- Language Skills: Fluency in English and either German or Dutch
- Flexibility: Availability to participate in 24/7 on-call schedules
What the job involves
- As part of our expansion in the Netherlands & Germany, we are seeking a (Senior) Cyber Security Expert to perform Incident Response for clients facing (potential) cyber incidents
- Additionally, you will collaborate with the Managed Detection and Response (MDR) team, ensuring that our clients stay safe
- The MDR & IR team supports our customers in the Security Operations Center (SOC) around the clock and is ready to provide IR services when needed
- Our multidisciplinary IR experts support our clients with (potential) cybercrime incidents, such as business email compromise, ransomware attacks, and espionage
- Incident Response: Respond to cyber incidents remotely (and occasionally on-site, if necessary). Communicate calmly and clearly with clients, guiding them through every step of the response process
- Domain Expertise: Use your knowledge of operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac), cloud infrastructures (Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, Google Cloud), and network security to analyze and mitigate threats
- Collaboration: Support MDR workflows, triage security alerts as part of a 24/7 on-call rotation (approx. once per week) and engage with cross-regional teams to maintain quality as we scale
- Continuous Improvement: Develop and refine internal playbooks, processes, and tooling. Contribute to initiatives like research projects, threat intelligence, and automation tools
- Leadership: Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders, such as colleagues, lawyers, data recovery specialists, and law enforcement, to manage incidents effectively
Our take
Eye Security was founded by a trio of Dutch Security Services and Intelligence experts, who wanted to combine round-the-clock cyber security with built-in cyber insurance in one platform. Small businesses are the top priority for the company, as these organizations lose billions in damages related to cyber attacks every year.
With hundreds of customers across a wide array of industries, Eye Security’s proposition is a subscription model, making it more manageable for small businesses. Beyond its flagship cyber security and insurtech solution, the company also offers more tailored packages and industry-specific solutions, further widening its appeal.
It is this suitability for many industries that makes Eye Security stand out, and it has attracted substantial investment from the likes of JP Morgan. Interestingly, this will be used to consolidate its presence in European markets, rather than expanding into the likes of North America - where it would likely meet fierce competition from native companies.
